"More for the Soul than for the Body"

Thursday, July 26, 2012

We received this customer comment a few days ago, and found it to be so eloquent that we asked the author's permission to reproduce it here:

As-salaamu alaykum!
I have just received my order an hour ago. Because you asked me to confirm the arrival of the parcel, I am taking now the opportunity to say a few words about the items ordered & delivered. I was so thrilled to receive my order (the first after a long period of pause on my part), to discover even the odor of the SHUKR clothes freshly come from the store! It was like rediscovering an old very dear friend! I am your customer since 2007, I have a rather huge wardrobe of SHUKR garments, and I always wear my SHUKR clothes in pure delight. They have accompanied me in a variety of situations and moments, and it's like I have developed a close relationship with them. Not a single of them is worn out, although some of them I have worn in a heavy-duty regime - but SHUKR clothes are exceptionally high quality, so they have taken all the heavy-duty so far...
As you perhaps have realized, I am not a Muslim; I do have Muslim friends, and I have recommended your garments to them, but I think they did not manage to order from your site. However, apart from the garments ordered for myself, I have ordered quite a lot for friends and family. I am happy to let you know that you got excellent appreciation from everyone. You are truly unique, better than any company in the "fashion" industry. I think you are beyond fashion anyway, because your garments are more for the soul than for the body as such; your garments stimulate a sense of tranquility, balance and patriarchal times when heavens were much closer to the earth than they are now. You are a "spot of true color" in the fashion world, where everything revolves around the "need" to uncover as much as possible in the most profitable manner for the seekers of lust and opulence display.
These being said, I wish to thank you once more for what you have brought into my life, and I wish to congratulate you for your unique work! May you have many, many years of blessed work from now on!
I wanted to express my gratitude to you, because without you it would have been harder for me to dress according to my heart.
Thank you again, and may God's Protecting Hands be always upon you all!
Was-salaam,
-Iuliana N.

What customers say?

"Your website is a call for all Muslim women around the world. I've never seen something so elegant and covered AT THE SAME TIME."

"Thank God for SHUKR. Usually when I buy western style shirts, I get them a size or two larger so that the length is more suited towards Islamic clothing. But that usually means the neck size is way too big and looks rather silly. But with SHUKR, Alhamdulillah, I feel very stylish and smart in my new shirts. The neck size, arm and shirt lengths are in perfect harmony. I would strongly recommend SHUKR to anyone looking to add a flattering design to their wardrobe or to give as gifts to family and friends."

“SHUKR has significantly changed my wardrobe bringing me both comfort and style. In addition, the clothes are of the utmost quality and durability owing up to their claims of excellent craftsmanship and natural materials. The colours are beautiful and the styles are elegant and timeless.”

"I have been extremely happy with SHUKR's clothing and service. I am not Muslim, but I appreciate modest, high-quality clothing. I am very grateful to have found them."

The quality of the merchandise is what really stands out. It is rare to have something so lovingly and durably made. I rarely spend money on new clothes but the skirts from SHUKR are an excellent investment. I am supremely comfortable while getting compliments wherever I go."

"I love you guys!!! You are at the forefront of Islamic fashion for men and women and that is a fact."

"Alhamdulillah the clothes look like they have a really good quality and are Insha'Allah going to last for a few years, which makes up the fact that the prices are quite high compared to some other online-shops. I also loved the short videos of the dresses/abayas, it helped a lot! The entire site is very easy to manage. This is probably the best online-shop I came across so far, I'm really looking forward to receiving my order in the next few days Insha'Allah. Lots of love from Germany."

"I'm impressed with the ease of SHUKR's customer service. Thank you."

“Although the photos on the SHUKR website are excellent, they do not do justice to the merchandise. When you receive your order you immediately notice the superiority of their craftsmanship, and the quality of their fabric. SHUKR uses the same fabric that the top designers use. Nothing I’ve ever received from them is second rate. It is truly a blessing to deal with a company that will not compromise on their workmanship.”

"Business is very organized, professional, and courteous customer service. Products are unique and high quality."
